Yet another example of a 'strong verb' past form. It is the past tense and past participle of misspell. Apart from dialectal preferences, it is equal in meaning to the form misspell in all ways.
British English shows a preference for retaining strong verb forms (burnt, learnt, spelt, dreamt, spoilt etc). American English shows a preference for ignora... I'm mean simplification (burned, learned etc).
Compare insure/ensure and inquiry/enquiry.
